O Lord, Open My Lips
This short piece by David von Kampen is surprising, delightful, and appealing with its gentle use of unconventional harmonies.
This short piece by David von Kampen is surprising, delightful, and appealing with its gentle use of unconventional harmonies. Though written for unison choir and piano, it can be sung by any type of ensemble or by a soloist. Useful at the beginning of any service, the piece features a final, hanging chord that naturally leads into the rest of the service.
Psalm 51:15; 70:1 (ESV)
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare Your praise,
and my mouth will declare Your praise.
Make haste, O God, to deliver me;
make haste to help me, O Lord.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever. Amen.
